Successful SpaceX Launch & Landing of Falcon 9 + Dragon CRS-10 Mission to the ISS (2017-02-19)
"Elon Musk - SpaceX" Robotic Dragon Cargo Capsule is bracing up to ferry to the International Space Station or ISS the Cold Atom Laboratory, which is recently dubbed as the future hyper cold spot in the whole universe.
The Dragon capsule is set to bring the shipment in August 2017 but before that happens, final testing has to be completed. Current preparations for the launch are being conducted at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

In a report by Livescience, the ISS will become the host to the frozen space, once the CAL gets there and the NASA experiment that will freeze atoms to only 1 billionth of a degree above absolute zero. One might wonder how big is this frozen spot but this is only an instrument suite similar to the size of an ice chest. Inside this suite are lasers, a vacuum chamber and an electromagnetic knife. All these instruments can slow down gas particles to a motionless state.

"Elon Musk - SpaceX" will be the private space company that will make this experiment into reality and fruition, once the shipment gets through to the ISS. It was revealed by Scientific American that the experiment on freezing atoms can yield new insights that will lead to better understanding of matter and gravity. It can be remembered that temperature is the critical factor that affects movement of atoms and molecules.
The study will hopefully unravel the mysteries of gravity and dark energy, which are the most universal attribute of the whole universe. In a model universe created by researchers, only five percent of the universe can be seen, 27 percent is dark matter and 68 percent is dark energy.
